About the Book

An axe age, a sword age, a wind
age, a wolf age. Shields shall be cloven…

The
Devourer of Gods weaves the tapestry
of an alternate Viking North America soaked in blood and magic. Pagans and
Christians clash with ship and shield-wall, unaware of the supernatural menace
that hungers for them. When his son departs on a doomed raid against the natives,
the Norse chieftain Jörund must confront the seeress Gudhrun Grimswidow and the
sorcerous allies he once betrayed. In the city of St Brendan, the Marklander woman Maria-Abit finds conspiracy and mystery
in the court of her king. Can they uncover and defeat the Devourer of Gods?
